Story by: Almammy 1

Date added: 13 Feb 2016

Laughter Africa first met Almammy at the end of September 2015. He was found living on the streets in Step. He is 12 years old and from Tombo. He had been living on the streets for over two years. The reason he gave for living on the streets was that he was sent by his uncle to drop off a laptop/dvd player and on the way, he was robbed. He was worried about going home because he was scared of being beaten and maltreated. Almammy loves to dance and when he stayed at the Interim Care Centre, he was always busting some moves. He was reunited with his family in mid October 2015. We visited Almammy at the end of November 2015 and also at the beginning of February 2016. He is now attending school and is still happily living at home.

Sadly Almammy was seen on the streets at the beginning of August 2016. We managed to find Almammy again at the beginning of October 2016. We took him home back to his family and we paid for his school fees. Thankfully by the end of November, he was still at home and was attending school daily as our social worker Abubakarr visited him at home to invite him to our Christmas party at the beginning of December.

Almammy 1 was visited by a social worker in April 2017 to invite him to the party to celebrate the international day of the street child. Almammy came to the party in mid April 2017. We phoned Almammy's family at the end of June 2017 and we are glad to say that he is still at home and attending school.
